Messrs Rolls-Royce, Ltd. Derby. Dear Sir, Who asked? As arranged at the Motor Exhibition, we are despatching under separate cover, a sample of the Giusti Gauseless Filter & Separator for test purposes on one of your cars. As you are doubtless aware, this article has only recently been placed on the market, and in the enclosed leaflet you will find our claims are that it is the only Filter on the market which not only separates every particle of water, dirt and other foreign matter from the motor spirit, but cannot possibly choke. The price of this article is 15/-, but to manufacturers who are fitting this device as a standard fitting, we allow 50% discount. We think you will agree that any manufacturer who is desirous of making his car one that would give satisfactory services with minimum trouble and worry must fit this device as a standard. We however, do not think it necessary to dwell any further on the advantages or rather necessity of this article, as we are convinced that yourselves, like any other firms, will realise this as soon as you have given it a test. | ||
